Building the Will to Thrive Together:
A New Playbook for Equitable Well-Being
May 7-8, 2024
The Rippel Foundation and TheCaseMade believe that there is no better moment to ignite the growing movement to thrive together. We are excited to be partnering on a set of activities to support changemakers actively working to build a multiracial and multicultural democracy, establish a well-being economy, and reorient America’s health care industry toward equitable well-being. Together, we intend to equip these changemakers with the skills needed to grow collective power and inspire all kinds of people to join in a shared vision for an equitable and thriving future.
Join us on May 7-8 at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, for an invitation-only co-design experience for changemakers committed to shifting systems toward equity and thriving. More than just another meeting or training, this is a limited gathering of individuals and organizations where we will exchange ideas, stories, and lived and learned experiences. Together, we will lean into our shared strengths and common purpose, and co-create strategies to build public will for transformative change.
This is a gathering for individuals and organizations that are working to build a multiracial and multicultural democracy, establish a well-being economy, and reorient America’s health care industry toward equitable well-being.
